Chop Shop is a family-owned Chinese takeout restaurant known for its generous portions and high-quality food. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, with a special emphasis on their famous egg rolls, which many reviewers consider the best in town and comparable to those from Birmingham's legendary Joy Young's. Customers frequently praise the freshness and flavor of the egg rolls, which contain pork, shrimp, and crispy cabbage, and often recommend ordering them to enjoy elsewhere, such as in a parking lot. The menu features favorites like fried rice, sweet and sour sauce, steamed dumplings, and dishes like Mongolian beef and shrimp & broccoli. The fried rice is highly praised for its flavor, and the egg rolls are described as fresh, crispy, and not greasy. Portions are large, ensuring customers leave well-fed. Food is cooked to order, which can mean a wait, but it guarantees freshness. Service at Chop Shop tends to be brisk and straightforward, with a no-nonsense attitude from the staff. The restaurant started as takeout-only, with no a la carte menu initially, and remains primarily a takeout place, although a large dining room was added years ago. However, the atmosphere is not particularly welcoming or charming, and the restrooms are advised to be avoided. Overall, Chop Shop is appreciated for its quantity, flavor, and especially its egg rolls. It’s a place where customers come for satisfying Chinese-American comfort food, particularly takeout, and enjoy the lively ambiance of ordering and waiting in line.
Incredible Delicious. Thanks for the Awesome Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon and the Moo Goo Gai Pan.

I would commit crimes for their fried rice, egg rolls and sweet and sour sauce. You have to call ahead and place your order if you don't want to wait, as all their food is cooked to order. It's family owned and operated so have grace with them! They work hard!!
